netlify/gocommerce: technical due diligence, read from its repository

What Borehole read in netlify/gocommerce's code and history at fc6215a: its licence, security advisories, releases, review practice, tests, dependencies and operations. Every finding cites the file and line it rests on. The full report also covers the team and asks the questions the code cannot answer.

Security & Reliability Posture

adequate
05.27

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

1 step pipes a download straight into a shell. Tags have been moved to malicious commits in real supply-chain attacks, and a piped script is whatever the server returns that minute. Pinning to a commit is the fix, and it is small.

Evidence
.github/workflows/fossa.yml:22 — download piped into a shell
05.13

5 outbound calls can wait forever

adequate

5 HTTP calls use a client with no timeout (Python `requests` without `timeout=`, or Go's default client). When a dependency slows down, each one holds a worker until the connection gives up, and enough of them take the service down with the dependency.

Evidence
api/api.go:85 — outbound call without a timeout
assetstores/netlify.go:24 — outbound call without a timeout
coupons/coupons.go:71 — outbound call without a timeout
05.20

1 SQL statement built from strings

adequate

1 places in product code build SQL by formatting or joining strings rather than passing parameters. In each, what the code shows going in is a table or column name, a constant, or something the line does not show, not a request's value. Ask whether any value reaches these strings, rather than a parameter.

Evidence
models/invoice_number.go:32 — SQL built from a string
05.26

4 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 2 high or critical in what ships

adequate

4 of 53 locked dependencies match 5 published advisories in OSV, 2 of them rated high or critical. A lockfile says which version is installed, not whether the flawed code is reachable from this product, so each needs a look. Most are fixed by an upgrade, and the advisory names the version. This lockfile pins development tools alongside what ships and does not say which is which, so some of these may never reach a user.

Evidence
go.mod — github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4 v4.2.0: GHSA-mh63-6h87-95cp (high), fixed in 4.5.2
go.mod — github.com/sirupsen/logrus v1.8.1: GHSA-4f99-4q7p-p3gh (high), fixed in 1.8.3
go.mod — golang.org/x/net v0.0.0-20211020060615-d418f374d309: GHSA-qppj-fm5r-hxr3 (moderate); pinned to a commit or a branch, so whether it has the fix needs the dependency's own source

Observability & Operations

strong
06.9

No error reporter is wired in

adequate

Nothing in the service initialises an error reporter (Sentry, Rollbar, Bugsnag, Honeybadger or an APM agent). An exception in production reaches a person only if someone is reading the logs, which usually means a customer reports it first.

Evidence
no error reporter initialised
